hey guys just curious i just put a 383 in my 88 and because of the low vacume (big cam) my brakes arnt what they were, so instead of getting a vacume canister i was wondering if someone makes a master cylinder without a powerbooster that would work on my vette thank you

And three. You will be much happier if you do.

Another option is the hydroboost setup like what was used on the Turbo Regals and on 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks.

There is a steel booster available thats bigger. Your brakes are the same, its the level of assit that you get from the booster. Even a low vac should help a bunch. A vac can with a check valve ain;t a big deal.
I've driven mine without a booster for several weeks, and although very tough in the beginning,. you get used to pushing a bit harder. Whats funny is the first few stops with a new booster

do you know who makes that steel booster?

I have a huge cam in one of my vettes too. 1 pump then zero brakes. Anyone have any experience with something like this. Pricy I know, but never have to worry again!

The can didn't work that great for me. Got a couple of extra pumps but in traffic it doesnt work well.

Good luck!

I have one in my 86 becuse at idle I had 10 inch of vac. It work fine but, if I had to do it again, I would go with a Hydrobooster just because I wonder sometimes about the electric motor stop working when I need it.
